Homey Touches

In the couple of hours we spent at Bangsar Village for lunch, Puan Anita managed to pick up a few items. Homey touches she said.

This was a teapot warmer. Underneath the furry little cover is a teapot and the cover keep it warm for an extra couple of hours. we uses to have a few of those when we were in the UK, but it must have been lost during shipping.

Cute eh?

Sunny Sunday

The Gombak house suffered from water shortage all weekend. We decided on waking up this morning to head to the apartment, spend the day there doing the washing and everything. It happened that I had to be at the hospital later in the afternoon, so, it wasn't a bad idea after all.

We had to return early though. United kicks off early this evening. It could be a key weekend as if we beat QPR and Arsenal did us a favour by beating Citeh at home, the title would swing to Old Trafford big time.

Just sorted things out at the apartment and were ready to head out for lunch. Not decided yet in where to go. But Bangsar Village is only 5 minutes away. That may be the destination.

Holiday Week

Until this morning, we spent the whole week at the apartment. Even though the beds would only be delivered next week, we managed to get most things sorted out, and the boys were especially happy. The highlight being the big screen at the living room.

Irfan would select his Astro channel and din the lights down while settling onto the sofa. It was movie night every night as far as he was concerned.

We were also waiting for the gas to be sorted out. I have been calling Gas Malaysia a few times but they were always busy. At least we have the induction hob at the dry kitchen, and we made do with that for the moment.

Unfortunately, we had to return to Gombak today. I'll also be on call tomorrow, and it looks like I'll be staying there alone tomorrow evening.

We would work out a schedule later on as to when we would be coming over again. We were planning weekends there for the time being as the boys would be staying in Gombak during school nights.

Pushing and Shoving

The initial plan was to have the boys joined by their friends on Monday and spending it at Kidzania. Unfortunately, it didn't go as planned, and they ended up with just Anita.

After my wars round, undecided to join them at the venue to make sure everything went according to plan. And oh boy, I was glad I went along as I didn't think Anita would've coped. The place was a mess!

I will blog later about that an how things could be improved as I was certain that it only takes small steps to make a huge difference. In the end, it put my boys off, and after one station, Irfan refused to join another with all the wait, pushing and shoving involved. It was partly my fault as well for teaching them to be disciplined and gentlemen, rather than push people about. You obviously needed a bit of crassness to get on with this world. If we could take anything from the day out at Kidzania, it was that the mor pushy you are, the higher you get in society. Reality I supposed.

But again, I believe that things could get better. As today, their friends would be joining them, they would be going to Kidzania again. At least Anita knew what to expect this time. There will be blood .....

Pizza Sunday

It had been a long day. And it was a Sunday. After the call, I was flat last night in front of the TV. I watched the first half of City-Sunderland match, and was asleep at halftime. Bye bye football!

The next thing I remembered, it was 5 in the morning and I couldn't find my phone. Quick search at the TV room and luckily there were no calls from the hospital.

Ward round went smoothly, and then I attended a product lunch at Sunway Resort Hotel, followed by lunch. A quick dash back to Gombak to pick everyone up to spend the afternoon at the apartment, before going out for groceries at Bangsar Village.

So, finally, the apartment now looked more like a home, and it was time for dinner. Pizza Hut was as good as any.
